Publisher's summary

“Napoleon Hill was one of America’s great, influential thinkers who continues to have an enormous impact today.” - Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine

Bestselling author Napoleon Hill reveals the seven principles of good that allow us to triumph over obstacles...and find success.

Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold coauthor Sharon Lechter, this book is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

Critic reviews

"My simple faith is this: If we are created in God’s image, then we were born to create, and to create is to prosper. [This] previously unpublished Napoleon Hill manuscript.... I’ve read it and recommend it." (Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes magazine)

Continuation of Think and Grow Rich

If you found Think and Grow Rich useful you will love this book as well. Sharon does interrupt quite a bit which really wasn't necessary but she promoted her book Three Feet from Gold which I'll read next so the interruptions weren't that bad after all. You'll get used to them3 3/4 of the way through.

Had Me Hooked!

I will say that Sharon’s comments and performance were “dated” in some instances. And you could hear some bias. But honestly, listening 11 years later, the world hasn’t changed much. This was an insightful read, and I’ve already recommended it to others.

My thoughts

My take: as long as we are staying focused on what is truly important to us, we are out of reach of the devil.
I have always seen the devil this way, but I never put it at the scale that control my whole life. I knew he’ll come in and out of me to distract me from what I am doing. He’ll appeal more pitiful to get my attention. He’ll want me to leave whatever I’m doing and come with him. He’ll show me all these shiny stuff and makes me feel good to stay with him. I am glad to be able to see that at the biggest scale. Thanks for this book.

I read this Twice a Year

Just as some read the Quran, Torah, is Bible throughout the year, I do the same with this book.

A must read! My clarity is renewed each time I read this book. Thank you!

His work brought to life in a unique way. I throughly enjoyed this audible book. Even more interesting is how it was held back all those years
Well worth your time.

outstanding

I did not know what to expect. I have read hundreds of books...and this one got me. I still cannot wrap my head around the time this book was written. It applies so well to what's going on in the world right now!? What great insight and perspective. I ordered a hard copy as there was too much information that I want to go back to. I highly recommend!
